Right off the bat I need to apologize for a review that I did earlier this year. I gave the Kevin Smith buddy-cop comedy “Cop Out,” starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, four stars and recommended it, stating that the film was a throwback to the classic buddy-cop movies of the ’80s and ’90s like “Lethal Weapon,” “48 Hours” and “Midnight Run.” Boy was I wrong! In defense of my moment of delusion I think that I liked the concept of “Cop Out” a lot more than the film itself....

Filmmakers like Herschell Gordon Lewis started experimenting with grotesque visuals and extreme violence in the early 1960s, making such groundbreaking films as Blood Feast, The Wizard of Gore, and The Gruesome Twosome....
